Blue Heron Sangha
We are a small friendly mindfulness community that follows the tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh. We meet weekly on Tuesday nights from 7:15 to 9:00 for meditation and other activities. Four of us started the group after we met at a Thich Nhat Hanh retreat in Colorado in 2005. Our group is made up of young and old, long time practitioners and those just beginning to explore mindfuln
ess meditation and Buddhist philosophy; some come every week, others join us when they can. Thich Nhat Hanh is a Vietnamese Buddhist monk. He is one of the founders of modern Engaged Buddhism, and has worked for peace around the world since the 1960's. His main focus is mindfulness, being aware of what you are doing each moment. Information on him and his practice are here: http://www.plumvillage.org/
On Tuesdays we have about 45 minutes of guided, walking and sitting meditation. Then we either listen to part of a Thich Nhat Hanh or another teacher’s CD or DVD, have a reading, discussion, or do some mindful movement; we end with some tea and a little time to get to know each other. If you have a mat or bench for meditation, bring it; there are also chairs available. We have a page at https://www.facebook.com/BlueHeronSangha , mainly so we can list what is happening, events or cancelations, etc. You don’t need to be part of Facebook to use it.
